Spielberg even made a short speech before the film's screening about the Royals:

"It's a very prestigious honor because they represent an entirely new era in British royalty that has the entire world excited.

When they came to America, that was one of the most exciting events, I think, that we've enjoyed for some time, so it's such an honor to be here in the UK to be able to meet them and to be able to show them, and all of us, 'War Horse.'"

While the legendary director honored them with a speech, Spielberg's wife helped the Royals during a time of need. She passed Kate a tissue when she was crying during the film.

Spielberg said:

"I saw the Kleenex go across my face, arrive and stop but I didn't want to intrude on her experience watching 'War Horse' so I never glanced over."
